A PRoEIrII,ss HINT.
a Ride of sixty Mile. with, ut Seeing n

Fox.
a ride of sixty miles behind the
hounds and not fox to be seen.
That was the experience of n party of
fox hunters who embarked on the ferry
boat early Friday morning for Alex
andra where they met similar party.
From Alexandria the party rode out be-
yond Springfield, fourteen miles south
west of Alexandria. There the hounds
were taken out Of the wagon and drew
wood after wood with no success. After
several hours of this sort of thing the
hunters got tired, and at the suggestion
OF Mr.. Windsor il was determined to
have Il point 10 point stecpechase. \
house probably five miles us the bird
flies from the start was selected as the
finishing point. 81
When every one was ready the word
was given, and off the party Of twelve
started at terrific pace. At the first
fenV two or three, horses refused and
one fell, and at each fence there was m
accident of some kind, hut none were
lscrione. and riders would mount 8ind
conn on Us fast as possible totrv to,bc il,
ut the finish. After going three or -four
miles, though there were only six within
hailng distance, and ut the finish there
we're only four with Mr.. Fowl, the
winner, the others struggled in one by
one for The next fifteen minutes, and
then the party started for home, after
having travelled nearly sixty miles for u
fox without heariilg II note from the
hounds all day. AZ Alexandria the
hunters had lunch, and Il hunt at Fort
Fooic for some day next week was ar
rlnnnl.

For Children.

4 Man Who Obi Ia Inckneycd Names
For Children.
There is in Washington II man with Il
hobby quite ont of the ordinary run of
personal peculinrities. His name is
Burns Harlan, and he has u family of
seven, whose first names nre "Ordell," 7"
"Ploris," "Quiroif," "Rolvix," Sax
per- "Tharos," and "Ustfra." The
first thought that would strike the cas-
nal observer on seeing this array Of
Christian names would be that they
were taken from the poetic lone of
scandinavia, or possibly from some
of the hcathcn languages. Mr.. Harlan
says, however, that he was always ad-
verse to the custom of giving children
hackncyed commonplace names like
"Mary" or John" and determined
10 exercise Eis originality in christening
his children.
Every one OF the Names is his own in
vcntion. 1t will be noticed that the
initials commence with the letter co."
and run alphabetically up to and includ-
ing "U." His ingenuity IN getting over
the letters so" and "U' is something
admirable 1t was evidently his in
tcntion to 20 through the alphabet, the
calculation being for an even dozen of
names; but an All-wise Providence in
teriered and prevented an unequal
struggle with the letter 'I."
